12:51:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:51:09 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:51:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:51:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:51:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:51:10 User actions detected.
12:51:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:51:10 Dome is MaxDome
12:51:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:51:10 Imager is ASCOM
12:51:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:51:10 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230108@123623 UTC
12:51:10 Imager readout modes:
12:51:10   0 is Fast
12:51:10   1 is Normal
12:51:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:51:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:51:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:51:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:51:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:51:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:51:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:51:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:51:10 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:51:10 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
